Abstract

The present study reveals the development of titanium oxide (TiOâ‚‚) nanoporous array by two-step anodization of Ti foil in ethylene glycol solution containing NH4F (0.3 wt%) and Hâ‚‚O (1.0 wt%). The influence of electropolishing and anodization steps on the surface of the Ti substrate was investigated in producing defined and uniform nanoporous structure. SEM micrographs confirm the pore size, growth, and uniformity of the formed TiOâ‚‚ nanopores. An AFM image shows a well defined hexagonal concave structure which acts as nucleation site for uniform growth TiOâ‚‚ nanoporous array prior final anodization step. Crystal structure of the form TiOâ‚‚ layers were investigated using XRD analysis.
